The Rain and the Miracles

Hej alla!

What a week. Holy cow.

There was a point in the week where we were soaking wet, and I had to pee SO bad, and so we were told that there was a bathroom at the top of like 8 flights of stairs--and so we went all the way up, only to find no bathroom. So we were just very wet and very uncomfortable. For quite a long time. But hey, that's show biz.

Otherwise, we had some of the most awesome lessons of my whole mission this week.

-We taught a guy who we met in the mall about two weeks ago, and he had awesome questions about the Plan of Salvation. He told us at the end that he could see how merciful God truly is.

-We taught a man that Syster Prendergast met on Facebook, and he said that he wants to rekindle the faith he had as a kid. I very much admire the pure desire he has to come back to God.

-We taught a woman named Wanda*, and she is amazing. She has had a very hard life, and wants to restart and connect with Jesus Christ. And she wants to be baptized! Pretty sweet.

We also:

- had a ward missionary kick-off and Bishop bought us all pizza. #freepizzamoment

- made banana bread

- had a stake service project and made a bunch of cheese sandwiches to be given out to homeless people!

- ate the most disgusting sandwich to ever exist that was essentially just raw shrimp and mayonnaise. And it was at 8:15 in the morning. Tufft.

Yay! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to teach people about Jesus Christ and God's plan for us. It's the best.

Have a good week!

A fever and a new comp

Tjena! What a week. It was Kaos. We: - ran around so that Syster Yoachum could say goodbye to everyone before leaving - had hot chocolate and walnuts with our friend *Matt - had transfers - got sick **bonus points, I had a fever and felt AWFUL on transfer day so I stayed home at the apartment to sleep and break my fever before my new companion came to the area. #apostate **extra bonus points, my voice sounds like a grandma who has smoked for like 60 years - did a bunch of street contacting - put our friend *Anna on date for baptism at the end of September!!! She's come to church 4 times now and she has such a pure soul. Love her. My new companion is Syster Jaques, (pronounced like Jakes), and she's great! I think we'll have a fun transfer. Yay! Have a good week everyone, and please enjoy the feeling of not being sick ! Syster Naatjes Syster Jaques and I in the city hot chocolate and walnuts the trio (eyes closed) Fika wi...

IT'S HOT

Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me. I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.) Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore. BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles. To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...

Splits and Street Miracles

Hej alla! I don't have much time, but I thought to write a couple miracles we saw this week. - We gave out not one, but TWO Book of Mormons on the street #swag - Invited a lady we met on the street to come to church this Sunday, AND SHE DID! And she loved it! She said that she'll come back next week and bring her son with her! - We had a member in on one of our lessons, and they bonded SO WELL with our friend. It was awesome. I guess they both really like papagoyas? Very random lol - A random guy called us and said he wants to come to church ? Nice. - I had been really craving American pizza, and had TWO opportunities to eat it in the past couple days. #SCORE Some other random things: - One of our friends is from Egypt, and told us that "All Egyptians love Home Alone." As in, the American Christmas movie. Which made me laugh really hard. - One of our members asked to do a fika after church and told us to invite all of our friends. Then we showed up with ou...
